🍅
Where did you plant the tomatoes last year?
The stuff you'd otherwise track in spreadsheets, notebooks, or not at all.
The feeding schedule, the weekly stuff, the things you keep forgetting.
Who you have, what they cost, and what they produce.
Layout your beds, track what's planted where, know when to harvest.
Dated notes with weather, photos, and tags. The stuff you'll want to look back on.
Invite family members or farm sitters so they can see what needs doing.
Figure out if your animals are paying for themselves. (Spoiler: probably not yet.)
Draw out your property on a canvas with your actual satellite photo underneath. Place buildings, coops, and sheds. Draw fences, ponds, and paddock boundaries as freeform shapes. Good for planning where things should go before you start digging.
Invite family or a farm sitter by email. They get their own login and can check off chores and leave journal notes, but they can't change your settings or delete anything. Works well for the "I'm away for a weekend, can you handle the animals?" situation.
Come in from the coop, type in the egg count, done. Each animal group has a quick-log form. Chickens default to "eggs," goats to "gallons," and so on. You get daily totals, weekly totals, and a 30-day average without having to do any math yourself.
I keep chickens, goats, and a vegetable garden. I tried spreadsheets, notebooks, and a bunch of farm apps — they were all either way too complicated, expensive, or clearly built for commercial operations. None of them fit the way a small homestead actually works. So I started building my own.
It's still early and I'm adding stuff regularly. If you have opinions about what should be in here, I'd genuinely like to hear them.
